Unconsciously, it has been less than half a month since the 2022 Lunar New Year, although this year in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, advocate the local New Year, but I believe that there are still friends who can't resist homesickness and hope to go home to see friends and family members who have not seen each other for a year. Under the premise of safety, driving home is obviously a more suitable way to travel, at least to reduce face-to-face contact between people. So what do you need to prepare before your journey begins? Let's take a look at it today.
Different from the usual commuting short-distance travel, in the face of cross-city and inter-provincial travel, less than a few hundred kilometers, more than a thousand kilometers, for people and cars are a severe test, in order to avoid some accidents, we should be prepared before departure to ensure a smooth trip for several years. So today we will introduce the precautions in this regard.
The first is to carry out a series of inspections of travel vehicles, if you can do maintenance in the store a week or half a month before departure, check the consumption of various oil, brake pads, tires and other parts of the vehicle, be sure to leave enough redundancy, even if you can still use it normally for a month, do not replace it in order to save money, after all, in the face of safety, these small money are not worth mentioning.
When driving on the road, do not improve your attention, even when cruising on the highway, you should pay more attention to the situation of the three rearview mirrors on the left, middle and right, which can help us understand the state of the vehicle front and back, left and right, and if we encounter a breakthrough situation, we can also greatly shorten the reaction time of avoidance. In addition, do not stop when driving on the road, it is likely to cause traffic accidents caused by the rear vehicle being too late to brake. In the unfortunate event of an accident, the occupants of the vehicle should be evacuated to safety as soon as possible and should not stay on the main road. If the vehicle breaks down while driving, it can drive into the service area if possible, park in the emergency lane in case of emergency, place a triangle warning frame in the rear and turn on the double flash.
Now many cars have L2 assisted driving, which is really helpful for long-distance driving and can effectively alleviate fatigue, but do not completely give control to the vehicle for peace of mind, after all, this is only assisted driving and not fully autonomous driving in the true sense. Always remember that the sense of security is given by yourself, no matter how smart and safe your car is, people make it.
I believe that everyone wants to go home early from the moment they drive on the highway, but at this time, remember to avoid fatigue driving, according to the regulations, "continuous driving of motor vehicles for more than 4 hours should stop and rest, and the rest time should not be less than 20 minutes." If there are passengers in the car who also have a driver's license, the two can alternate driving.
There is also no need to speed, the mechanical performance of the car is getting better and better, a little step can reach the legal speed limit, but we do not have to choose to speed in order to save that hour of time, because once a collision occurs at such a high speed, no matter how good the active and passive performance of your vehicle is, it will become as soft as a sponge in the face of huge impact energy.
Long-distance driving, people will inevitably appear fatigue and hunger, now self-heating food choices are very rich, there is water to eat a hot meal, before departure can go to the supermarket or online to buy some. Of course, there are also restaurants in the service area, but there will generally be a long queue during the Spring Festival, so starting some self-heating food can effectively save time.
